The mods are "managed" by paid staff I believe. Unsure of the actual dynamics. The problem I believe isn't just the lack of mods but the unclear policy and conflicting goals of pleasing the perceived majority. Right now it seems to be religious homeschooled kids and good "clean" spam may be preferred to the more adult bar style controversial conversations (which seemed to be more of the norm a decade ago). A lot of the site posturing has been left leaning previously and given the shift in demographics that may change
But what does a bunny know?

Why are spam topics like these pinned??
Fwiw, any topic with titles containing "people above/below" with posts of just yes/no or numbers is just spam.
No ik a 22 year old that tries to bully people on chess.com full grown adult just trolling
And all the 60+ year olds like arguing or attacking people to much (only a few )
The kids are the ones saying copium or skill issue
There's plenty of decent 12 year olds but some of them can get annoying
And the ones complaining about cheating are at any age paranoia can effect anyone

It isn't just kids there's plenty of adults to doing it
like ME!

Yeah, I'm 13 and very disappointed in how others my age or a bit older act...
A majority of the kids on here don't even play chess lol, they just go to off-topic forums.
